    I can't follow you. Are you talking about nix or nixpkgs now?

    nix-env -qa \* -f $NIXPKGS_ALL  works fine for me
    --out-path is broken due to a multiset issue. I'll fix that asap.

The problem persists. Below is a copy of my actual commands and their
output, which should remove all doubt. (Yes, I saw your suggestion to use
irc -- I might do that after work). Oh, once I got nix working, I updated to
the latest nix-env (in nixpkgs-stable, of course).

Thanks,
Bill
